In this study, the processing of Himmetoglu oil shale from Bolu, Turkey, by flotation techniques was investigated for the possibility of achieving a clean solid-fuel substitute. The surface characteristics and mineral content of Himmetoglu oil shale were determined using mineralogical, XRD, and FIR analysis. The flotation response of the sample was tested with several nonionizing collectors and a variety of ionizing collectors belonging to both cationic and anionic groups. The effects of collector dosage and pulp pH on the effectiveness of flotation were also determined. XRD analysis showed that majority of incombustible matter in the sample was carbonate, silicate, and sulfide minerals. FTIR spectrum exhibited significantly strong absorption bands from the organic and oxygen-rich functional groups, revealing the organic-rich and highly humic character of Himmetoglu oil shale. Flotation experiments showed that Himmetoglu oil shale had a hydropbillic nature and extremely poor flotability because of its humic character. Effective means of ash rejection with an acceptable extent of combustible recovery was achieved by reverse flotation, where mineral matter was selectively removed by amine acetates through reverse flotation. Among the amine acetates used, the most favorable cleaning was obtained in the presence of Flotigam CA at natural pulp pH, where the ash yield of Himmetoglu oil shale was reduced from 34.76 to 23.52% with a high combustible recovery of 83.57%.

Beneficiation of Himmetoglu oil shale by flotation as a solid fuel substitute. Part 2. Process optimization by a statistical approach Altun, Naci Emre; Hwang, HY; Bagci, AS (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2006-01-01) The effects of the important flotation parameters on the cleaning process of the Himmetoglu oil shale from Turkey were investigated. The individual and multiple interaction effects of conditioning time, flotation time, pulp density, particle size, and frother dosage were determined using statistical analysis and factorial design of experiments. The influence of these parameters on the cleaning performance were evaluated in terms of ash yield, calorific value, and combustible recovery of the concentrates. XR...
Beneficiation of carbonaceous lead and zinc ores by a combined flotation and leaching method Sarılar, Sena; Atalay, Mustafa Ümit.; Department of Mining Engineering (2019) Within the scope of this thesis study carbonaceous lead and zinc ore obtained from Yozgat – Akdağmadeni region of Turkey was used. Main objective of the study is to obtain lead concentrate at possible maximum grade and recovery rates by using conventional flotation beneficiation method. In addition to that second main motivation of the study is the extraction of zinc from flotation tailing by using hydrometallurgical method named as leaching under a range of experimental conditions by using different types ...
Evaluation of a Turkish low quality oil shale by flotation as a clean energy source: Material characterization and determination of flotation behavior Altun, Naci Emre; Hwang, Jiann-Yang; Bagci, A. Suat (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-01) Evaluation possibility of a low quality Turkish oil shale from Beypazari, Ankara as an alternative clean solid fuel by froth flotation technique was investigated. Oil shale sample was characterized with mineralogical analysis, XRD and FTIR spectrum studies for its mineral content and surface characteristics. The flotation behavior of the sample and extent of cleaning were determined with respect to non-ionizing and ionizing collectors of anionic and cationic types. The effects of collector dosages and pulp ...
Kinetic analysis of central anatolia oil shale by combustion cell experiments Iscan, A. G.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bagci, A. S. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-06-01) In this study, four oil-shale samples (Nigde-Ulukisla) excavated from Central Anatolia Turkey were analyzed where this region is believed to have a high potential of oil in its shale rich outcrops. The samples (similar to 40 g) were combusted at 50 psi gas injection pressure, at an air injection rate of 1.5 L min(-1) in a combustion-reaction cell. All the experiments were conducted up to 600 degrees C. The percentages of oxygen consumption and carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide production were obtained inst...
LIQUEFACTION OF NIGDE-ULUKISLA OIL SHALE: THE EFFECTS OF PROCESS PARAMETERS ON THE CONVERSION OF LIQUEFACTION PRODUCTS KARTAL, ÖZLEM ESEN; Akın, Serhat; Hascakir, Berna; KARACA, HÜSEYİN (2017-01-01) In this paper, the direct liquefaction of Turkish Nigde-Ulukisla oil shale in noncatalytic and catalytic conditions was studied. The effects of pressure, tetralin/oil shale ratio, catalyst type and concentration, reaction time and temperature and oil shale/waste paper ratio on the process were investigated. It was found that tetralin/oil shale ratio had no considerable effect on the total and liquefaction products conversions under the noncatalytic conditions. Fe2O3, MoO3, Mo(CO)(6), Cr(CO)(6) and zeolite w...
